Orange and Lemon Spaghetti

Name: Orange and Lemon Spaghetti
Ingredients: 2 oranges; 1 lemon; 30 ml butter; 60 ml (1/4 cup) onion, very finely chopped; 60 ml (1/4 cup) dry, white wine; 100 ml fresh cream; salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste; finely chopped parsley to garnish

Be surprised by the exciting citrus flavor of this easy pasta sauce. I like to serve it twirled in a little nest, with lightly poached salmon steaks and steamed asparagus.
